I am an aggressive. I love adding to the flavor of a story and bringing in NPCs (I sometimes fall in love with NPCs and make them full characters). There are times when I want to be lazy though so I don't mind playing in a game someone else is directing.

Favorite Genres:

Fantasy, be it full blown other world, modern Earth or spacey. I don't mind other genres. I love action in general.

- Learn to tolerate small children (you or your friends or even your neighbors might have those devilish creatures)
- Learn how much alcohol you can handle- trying to outdrink your friends and getting hammered; that stuff should all be gone after your early 20s

EMERGENCY PLANNING.

Because you never know when something bad might happen. >> That can be anything from carrying bandaids in your purse, to knowing where to go during a tornado, to how to collect water if you get lost in a forest, to HOW TO SURVIVE DURING THE APOCALYPSE.

Do you know what local plants are safe for you to eat?
Do you know what BUGS you can eat? Animals?
Do you have a basic knowledge of how to garden?
Do you know how to build a simple shelter, or ways to keep dry and warm?
Do you know the basic rules of cooking?
Sewing is a good thing to know not just for mending clothes, but for mending PEOPLES!

Do you know what to do during a mass epidemic?
Do you have a strategy plan for zombies?
Do you know the safest place to be if your country comes under attack?
Do you know where to go during a flood? Hurricane? Tornado? Earthquake?

I am mostly aggressive to where everything in the universe matters. Sometimes, I was called "Wordy" because I was rather stringent about the weather. If the game presents a substantial amount of info, then I'll leave my partner to the planning and such. Depending on the genre of the game, I would be fine with a lighthearted game or a game with many events.

Favorite Genres:

Anything with Youkai, Japanese culture, Fantasy, Realistic, and almost all Originals (Except Touhou)

Genre You DON'T Like:

Well, I don't have a personal distaste, but I tend to avoid fanfiction role play (where it is required to know canon prior to joining). Vampire, werewolf or any role play that has to revolve around a species outside of humans or elves is something I turn away from. According to certain websites and other forums (obsidian Butterfly is a good example), in order to portray a vampire or a werewolf correctly, one would have to read a book about certain factors of lore. My mind is mainly a freelance writer, thus I would elude from anything that follows a strict regimen. Also, I would avoid role plays with a lot of combat (because I'm a ZEN person, and I pretty much such at writing combat without making it sound like I am god-modding.)

In my opinion, every adult should know how to manage their time.
Role Play becomes less important (or at least, in my mind) when it comes to managing the bills and having children.

Also, don't sweat the small stuff.

-How to have and handle children of any age. Because when the poop hits the fan, them children are our future.
-How to pleasure whatever sex the adult is attracted to. Because you can't have children without this.
-How to cook multiple full and nutritious meals, all of which are of varying taste and nutritional value. It's good to be specific.
-How to recognize mistakes.

-How to exclude politics from stuff.
-How to use skills at the appropriate times.

I try to contribute to the story and accept contributions equally. I'm not perfect and my inspiration often depends on the story and my partner.

Favorite Genres:

I love Sci-fi of all stripes and almost all fantasy.

Genre You DON'T Like:

I can't stand pure modern, and I avoid fandoms in general. But I will make exceptions to the fandoms rule if it's a great plot and a fandom I love.

Learn not to be frustrated with people who take longer than you to understand a concept. You never know, in the next chapter/subject/skill, you might be the "slow" one. This was a hard lesson for me to learn as a tutor, but it has served me well in keeping me humble and realistic about my intelligence and abilities, while giving me the patience to encourage and teach others.

I'm not quite an adult yet, but I've been through so much crap that I might as well be in my 30's.
I think adults should know:

-How to keep up with current events
-How to admit when your wrong
-How to not be judgmental
-How to compromise and not be stubborn
-How to be productive
-How to be a leader
-How to trust people
-How to set good examples for children
-How to accept change or loss
-How to live outside your comfort zone
-How to use moderation with pretty much everything
-How to be realistically optimistic
-How to have self control
-How to live life to the fullest
-How to never say "good enough"
-How to deal with the unexpected
-How to put others first
-How to deal with conflicting emotions
-How to forgive others
-How to forgive yourself
-How to control impulses
-How to respect others and their beliefs, identity, sexuality, gender, etc.

Very aggressive. I can try to be passive, but really, I like keeping things moving.

Favorite Genres:

Fantasy is number one. Steampunk, sci-fi, alternate history, and everything else that isn't boringly realistic are also fine by me.

Genre You DON'T Like:

Anything modern, realistic, and without a good plot. Don't give me some free-form, unplotted crud set in a generic modern city. No bueno.

PERSUASION

Life goes better when you know how to get what you want. If you do it and make other people happy as well, you're persuasive. If you hurt or betray other people, you're manipulative. Knowing how to walk the delicate line where you get where you need to be while helping others along the way is VITAL to succeeding.
